    Thanks all for the well wishes. Great to find out Independence Indoor Shooting is less than 3 miles from my house.

It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." -Daniel Webster

      Yep, near overland and eagle intersection.

      FYI: The last ffl transfer I did was for free at Independence, even though I bought the rifle from Euro optics. I don't think it was because I am a member.
      Not sure if they still do it.

        Member transfers are free. I was enjoying some of the Tuesday night low key matches, but they are on hold due to the flu.

          Thanks for clarifying. I guess they must have recognized me as a member.

          I miss my indoor bullseye league at Boise Pistol club as well.

          Been meaning to try sporting clays at Black Dog south of Boise but never seem to get a chance to get out there.

                  Human Bean and Moxy are better anyway. I used to love Flying M coffee but last time I went into a store they were selling witchcraft books/paraphernalia and had anti Trump stuff everywhere. They also had a sign that said something to the effect of all people welcome unless you are carrying a gun then you can't come in. IDK how they are even in business here. ETA As I was leaving I saw a sign that said something about how they wished all old white people would just die so the world could be a better place. Seriously not even kidding. I haven't been back in years.

                  I was going to close my Golden 1 account and transfer it to ICU but there was some drama where ICU couldn't verify my address or employer so they wouldn't open the account, then I discovered Pioneer and a few other CUs are "Sister" credit unions with Golden 1 so if I need anything I can just walk into one of their branches and they will handle it just like a Golden 1 branch.

                  CA DMV tried to collect from me as well even after I sent them the proper paperwork showing I had left the PRK. I also just ignored them.

                  Just had my 2 cars smoged again in Idaho, it always jarring how different the process is. It cost 30.00 total out the door and took around 15 min start to finish for both cars. Would have cost me 28.00 if I had remembered to bring cash to avoid the 1.00 per smog check credit fee.

                          Congrats on the move OP. A couple of close friends just made the move out to Meridian the weekend before Thanksgiving. ID sure seems like the place to be nowadays!
